<title>Anti-Satellite Dish Policy Proposed In Chicago</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26837857</link>
<description><![CDATA[A Chicagoan alderman, Ray Suarez, wants to keep satellite dishes away from the front of residences and urges satellite installers to fix them on sides or rear of buildings.

At a meeting of Zoning Committee last Thursday, he showed pictures of buildings in his ward, some having as much as 9 dishes in front. He observed that satellite dishes are just left behind when renters move out.

The alderman proposes that landlords take the responsibility of removing the satellite dishes of their previous tenants. Property owners would also be responsible for removing the devices after residents move out their buildings or if their satellite broadband contract is discontinued.

&#147;It makes it look terrible," Suarez laments. But satellite broadband providers argue that  satellite dishes can&#146;t get as good signals when bolted on the sides or rear of buildings. However, Suarez believes that dish  installers prefer to put the dishes in front rather than in the narrow gangways simply because the former is easier for them to do. "I've talked to installers who say they're just taking the easy way," said Suarez.

Suarez got his proposal approved by the committee and it now heads to the full City Council. Under the proposed rule, satellite broadband providers that insist on installing dishes on the street side of a building have to explain in writing why it won&#146;t work in other sides.
